This Woman's Skin Turned Orange After Eating Lots of Carrot
- Health Jade
She first noticed the change in her skin colour while at school, when her peers began to ask whether she was wearing fake tan or makeup.
"People at school were starting to notice and asking me if I was wearing fake tan which made me a bit insecure. Every time when I walked into school people would say "oh are you wearing make-up today," Rendall remarked.Â
"I'm not someone who wears makeup and that's why I think people thought has she tried to do her makeup and miserably failed" because she doesn't do her make-up regularly,"
Her mother also noticed her skin colour and worried that she might have jaundice – yellowing of the skin due to a liver problem.

At this point, she hadn't linked her carrot habit to the yellowing of her skin.
However, her mother then remembered a cousin who used to eat a lot of carrots and sometimes looked a little orange.Â
After researching her symptoms, Rendall self-diagnosed herself with carotenemia.
Oranges and other fruits, such as mangoes, apricots and pumpkins contain a natural pigment called beta carotene.
This substance gives them their distinctive hue. Over time, consuming excessive amounts of beta carotene can cause the skin to turn a yellow-orange colour.
Carotenemia, as it is medically known, is harmless. But it can take several months for the skin to return to a normal colour.
